Texans love to shoot guns and to eat meat. Well, at least that's what I was taught growing up, and U.S. Republican Sen. Ted Cruz is backing up my idea. In a video for Independent Journal Review, we see Cruz strap some bacon to a machine-gun and get things cooking.

As the debates are heating up between Republicans, Cruz is more concerned about how well his bacon is cooked by a gun. Nothing says presidential material like shooting guns to cook processed bacon. In Cruz's attempt to appeal to the right wing gun enthusiast and people who have seen all three Expendables movies, he comes off as a little bored with his incredibly busy job. Shouldn't he be handling government issues?

Anyway, if you feel like following the footsteps of Cruz, all you need is some aluminum foil, bacon and a machine gun. He shows you his shooting skills along with his unique cooking skills as the video ends with the unveiling of the freshly-cooked bacon. He even takes a little bit to show you just how well-cooked the bacon is. I wonder if it tastes like victory or crazy?
